During the inauguration of projects completed by his administration to mark his first year in office, Governor Wike yesterday announced that street trading has been banned in Rivers State and he wants everyone to understand why that must be so. Wike who said he will not give any fraction of Rivers State for anyone to rule for whatsoever reason said;

“I want to appreciate you for your support, but do not be angry for the decision I am going to take now because from today, government has banned street trading and illegal extortion on traders by some hoodlums. When the hoodlums come to you, do not pay, but no more street trading.”

Fayose who was also in Rivers to attend the ceremony said, never again should the people of Rivers allow any APC candidate rule them.
